A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
Various types of maple trees are grown, but they all have similar aspects. The maple tree is found all up and down the east coast of the U.S. Four main types of maple trees exist, with the red maple growing all the way into Texas and Minnesota. The sugar maple tree has bright green leaves that are between 3 and 5 inches wide and have five lobes. The underside of these leaves is a pale green. These trees grow thick, vertical plates that look like they are peeling vertically.
